Traditional Italian Style Gluten Free Spaghetti Carbonara Recipe

Spaghetti Carbonara was one of my favorite meals growing up and was the first recipe I learned to cook on my own. It’s personally my favorite pasta dish to make at home because it tastes excellent and is quick and easy.

One of the first gluten free meals I experimented with was spaghetti carbonara and I was very relieved when it turned out well and tasted similar enough to the real thing. In fact, I have made gluten free carbonara for my friends who aren’t gluten free and they enjoyed it.

I have tried this recipe with chickpea pasta and corn and rice spaghetti but the brand that I have found tastes the most similar to real pasta is Taste Republic Gluten Free Linguini. I personally used Taste Republic in this recipe, however, any spaghetti replacement will do.

I also personally prefer using chopped prosciutto in this meal, however, pancetta, or even regular bacon still tastes great in your carbonara. Use whichever is available to you or is the most cost effective.

Notes

• *Taste Republic GF pasta is fresh pasta so if you are using dried pasta in this recipe you should probably do around 6oz of dry pasta.
